Please visit her portraits of Parisians, and explore Paname - the neighborhoods of Paris. It helps that her Paris is presented as this lovely guidebook. I am very grateful this year for Front International and efforts by the Collective Arts Network (CAN Journal) to promote Cleveland's wider geography of the arts. We must invite Ms. Bruschi here to curate the next Front Trienniel. She has the panache and design skills to do the job right.

Now in its fourth iteration, the 2018 FotoFocus Biennial encompasses more than 90 projects at museums and galleries across Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, Dayton, and Columbus, and features more than 400 artists, curators, and educators—the largest of its kind in America.

Each Biennial is structured around a unifying theme. For 2018, that theme is Open Archive—emphasizing the centrality of photography and lens-based art to modernism, and examining our fundamental need to preserve photographs and to tell stories through their collection, organization, and interpretation.

And, while I did not fully grasp the theme of the inaugural Front Trienniel, I am grateful that this heroic effort prompted responsive art tourism and events at Wolf Gallery, 78th St Studios and a pop-up show in Akron at the temporary Pish Posh Gallery. Don't miss the closing party of Pish Posh in Akron on September 20th!

Noblesse oblige has a negative connotation, but it really, should not. I know lots of folks in Cleveland, grateful for their success in life who, in turn, give back to the community. CARTA is an organization that PREDATES the Cleveland Museum of Art. It deserves your support. I just joined- https://www.clevelandartassociation.org/ and I will confess, I did not know about this amazing group of dedicated art lovers until this week. I will post more - soon. The lottery for art is TODAY.
